Saudi transport authority launches 2nd phase of localizing freight services  

RIYADH: Saudi shipping services can soon expect better operational efficiency as the Kingdom’s transport authority has launched a project to localize and develop offices for land freight brokers.   

The Transport General Authority, which oversees land, railway and maritime transport in Saudi Arabia, launched the second phase of localizing freight activities on Monday.  

The initiative aims to enhance national capabilities and provide individuals with opportunities in a range of transportation-related services and activities, in accordance with the Vision 2030 initiative to diversify the Kingdom’s economy. 

It was launched in collaboration with the Saudi Logistics Academy as well as a number of other relevant authorities in both the government and private sectors.
